An Easy Way to Apply Effects

control the three built-in effects (reverb, flanger, equalizer),

kit and of each instrument will be ignored, and effects will be
applied according to the Ambience setting.
NOTE
When the drum kit where the Individual (p. 82) is set has been
selected, the Ambience cannot be used.
